Gauchos Give Game Nights
Under the Gauchos Give Tickets program, UCSB will be offering family nights for local elementary, middle school and junior high Parent Teacher Associations. On these family nights, students will receive free admission while parents and school faculty get in for just $3. The students have the opportunity to take part in the pre-game introduction tunnel that the players run through onto the field and can also take part in the post-game autograph session.
